THE
NAYELE AMETEFE COCAINE SAGA – THE COMPLICITY
DEEPENS
The Naayele Ametefe cocaine sage has given
rise to widespread belief in the complicity
of the NDC government.
The circumstances in this matter give
credence to this widespread belief: Ms.
Ametefe’s transit through the VVIP lounge at
Kotoka International Airport, her carrying
of cocaine in her hand luggage through the
VVIP lounge, the Diplomatic Car on the
tarmac at Heathrow Airport that came to meet
Ms Ametefe’s flight, her arrest on the plane
to prevent her from disembarking, the
official cover-up attempts (NACOB’s false
co-operation with British security,
conflicting stories from various Ministers
of State regarding Nayele’s use of the VVIP
lounge, and conflicting stories on Alhaji
Dawuud’s arrest, etc, have all lent credence
to the belief of government’s complicity.
In the aftermath of Ms. Ametefe’s conviction
in a London court, the government announced
the arrest of 6 people accused of aiding and
abetting Nayele. Government also made a show
of seizing properties of Ms. Ametepe in
accordance with the law.
Nothing much seems to have come out of these
trumpeted actions. The announcement of an
action to confiscate Ms Ametepe’s properties
seems to have been just that – an
announcement. The prosecution of those
accused of being accomplices who aided and
abetted Ms. Ametefe suffered from several
non-appearances in court by prosecution
officials. Yesterday, 24th February, 2015,
the prosecution has ended in a nolle
prosequi (i.e official termination of the
prosecution) lending even more credence to
the suspicion that this trial was a mere
“show trial”.
The questions still then remain: Who should
be held responsible for Nayele Ametefe
travelling the VVIP lounge when she was not
entitled, and how she carried 12.5kg of
cocaine through the VVIP of the Kotoka
International Airport, and who aided and
abetted her?
This situation has deepened the already
great suspicion of government’s complicity
in this whole Ms. Ametepe cocaine smuggling
saga.

Valerie Sackey critiques Obed
Asamoah’s book: “THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF GHANA (1950 –
2013) – THE EXPERIENCES OF A NON-CONFORMIST.”
DailyGraphic, Feb 24, Ghanadot
- The author, however, has been to so many places
that it is sometimes hard to see where he is coming
from. He admits in his preface, that he has “vacillated
between revolution and multi-party democracy.” I lost
count, halfway through the book, of the number of
political parties and regimes in which he played some
role.....More
